What is the Bitcoin Four-Year Cycle?
Bitcoin undergoes a "halving" event approximately every four years, where the block reward for miners is cut in half. This event has historically been followed by significant price movements, creating a repeating four-year pattern:
- Halving Year: The year when Bitcoin's block reward is halved (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028)
- Big Bull Year: Typically the year following the halving, often featuring the largest price gains
- Correction Year: A year of significant price correction after the bull run
- Small Bull Year: A recovery year before the next halving
